Question

what is a metal reactivity series? What are its important features? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reactivity series is a series of metals, in order of reactivity from highest to lowest. It is used to determine the products of single displacement reactions, whereby metal A will replace another metal B in a solution if A is higher in the series.

Features:

1. The reducing power of metals decreases as we move down the reactivity series.

2. The tendency of metals to get oxidized decreases as we move down the activity series.

3. Also, as we move down the reactivity series the ability of metals to reduce water into hydrogen reduces.
